Why we chose Skin Rocks and how Caroline Hirons is changing the professional skin-care industry

At Jacalyn James Skin Clinic, we’re always looking for brands and treatments that not only deliver real results for our clients but also align with our ethos of education, integrity and professional excellence. That’s why we are delighted to announce that we have added the Skin Rocks brand and specifically the new professional arm, Skin Rocks Pro into our treatment menu.

In this article, I’ll walk you through why we selected Skin Rocks, why Caroline Hirons is a name you should know in the professional skincare world, and how this brand is actively reshaping the professional skin-clinic space “one therapist at a time.”

Skin Rocks

Who is Caroline Hirons and what makes her legacy relevant to your skin experience

  1. Caroline Hirons is a skincare expert and writer who has been described as “the queen of British skincare”.
  2. Her career spans decades: starting out on beauty counters, to blogging in 2010, publishing bestselling skincare books and eventually founding her own line.
  3. With her deep industry experience she has built a reputation for honesty, clarity and knowledge-driven skincare advice, not hype.
  4. What stands out? She is not simply a “brand founder” but someone who has worked hands-on with clients, developed treatments, analysed ingredients and understands the nuances of professional skin work.

Because of this background, when she turns her expertise to a professional-only line (Skin Rocks Pro), it carries real weight. It’s not fluff. It’s built for therapists, built for results, built for the clinic.

Why we chose Skin Rocks (and what it brings to our clinic)

Here’s why Skin Rocks and its pro arm tick our boxes:

Science-backed, active-driven formulations

Skin Rocks describes itself as “the destination for skincare knowledge… and clinically-proven range of products”.

The formulas are designed with purpose not just marketing which aligns with our commitment to efficacy.

Professional protocols via Skin Rocks Pro

In August 2025 Caroline Hirons unveiled Skin Rocks Pro, explicitly created for therapists and clinics.

The treatment framework includes six core facial protocols – Amplified, Control, Hydration, Hyperpigmentation, Regenerative, Support). These match our new menu offerings.

This means: we’re using a brand that supports in-clinic treatments, not just sell-home products.

Alignment with our values: Education, Transparency, Professionalism

Caroline has spoken publicly about the need for education, credibility and clarity in skincare. “We’re not here to sell a fantasy… we’re here to support your skin’s health with products that do the job.”

That aligns directly with our mission at the clinic: to deliver honest results, guided by clinical standards.

Skin Rocks

Versatility for client concerns

Skin Rocks (consumer line) already addresses a wide range of skin concerns: pigmentation, barrier damage, firmness, texture.

With the pro line, we now have protocols specifically targeted for clinic-level concerns: congestion, breakouts, barrier dysfunction, ageing etc. This means we can tailor better, deliver deeper results and integrate advanced treatments with the homecare.

Business advantage for therapists

One of the statements from Skin Rocks Pro emphasises: “designed by experts for experts … clinically-proven products and amplified treatment protocols.”

For our skin clinic, this means: treatments that are fresh, distinctive, supported by a brand with cachet; homecare that complements them; educational backing to retain clients. This adds value not just for the client, but for our business.

How Skin Rocks Pro is shaking up the professional skin-industry, one therapist at a time

Here’s how we see the impact unfolding and why it matters for YOU as a client of our clinic:

Specialist training & credentials for therapists

Skin Rocks Pro has built in educational requirements for therapists: Level 2 qualification minimum, training includes theory & practical, plus business/retail components.

This elevates the standards of treatments offered, meaning your therapist isn’t just “plugging in a machine” but operating within a vetted protocol.

Pro-only products and device compatibility

The brand has indicated that its pro offering will include exclusive products sized and priced for salons and compatible with professional devices.

This means clinics get access to formulas that aren’t available to all consumers giving your session a professional distinction and exclusivity.

For you: you get treatments that are genuinely professional, not repackaged consumer products.

Bridging homecare and clinic-care seamlessly

Because Skin Rocks already has a strong consumer line, the clinic treatments and homecare are built to integrate.

This means when you receive a Skin Rocks Pro facial in-clinic, we can recommend the matching homecare (from Skin Rocks / Pro) knowing the synergy is there. That means better long-term results.

Refreshing the treatment menu and raising client expectations

Caroline Hirons has pointed out how the professional skincare space has started to feel “a little homogenous… with brands blending into each other through muted colour palettes and trend-led treatment names that confuse the client.”

With Skin Rocks Pro we get fresh protocols, named with clarity e.g., “Control Facial”, “Support Facial”, which helps clients understand what they’re getting.

For you: clearer menu, clearer expectation, clearer outcomes.

Empowering therapists → better client care

Because the brand is aimed at therapists rather than purely mass-consumer, it encourages the therapist’s role to be consultative, skill-based and outcomes-oriented.

In short: it empowers the therapist and raises the bar for care. That means you, the client, should see the benefit in terms of professionalism, care quality and results.

Skin Rocks

What this means for you at our clinic (and what to expect)

  1. We have adopted Skin Rocks Pro’s six core facial protocols – Amplified, Control, Hydration, Hyperpigmentation, Regenerative, Support) as part of our treatment menu.
  2. Every treatment uses professional formulas, massage techniques and follow-up homecare designed to support the clinic session.
  3. We will provide you with tailored homecare recommendations from the Skin Rocks consumer line (or Pro line if applicable) so your results extend beyond the treatment room.
  4. You’ll receive clear consultations: what the protocol is for, what results to expect, how many sessions might be needed, and how homecare ties in.
  5. Because the brand emphasises therapist development and business support, we are able to invest in training, devices and protocols, meaning you get the benefit of cutting-edge professional skincare.

In summary

We chose Skin Rocks and Skin Rocks Pro because this is not just another skincare brand. It is a brand built by a professional, for professionals, grounded in education, clarity and results. It aligns with our mission at Jacalyn James Skin Clinic – to offer exceptional treatments, honest advice, and visible outcomes.

By offering Skin Rocks Pro treatments, we are not just offering “a facial”. We are offering a professional protocol, supported by a brand with integrity, backed by formulas that make sense, and delivered by therapists who are trained and enabled to perform at a higher level.

If you’re ready to experience a facial treatment that’s been built from the ground up for efficacy, not just marketing then we invite you to explore our Skin Rocks Pro menu and let us find the right facial for your skin goals.
